I like it. I was not much for it originally but those flowers just tie it all together and soften the dark brown.

I do love your as well. They flow on the borders which I like adorned rather than plain! Luann ps Great job love the quilt!

I do agree with you...I think the hexies would flow better. LOVE the quilt!!!

I decided on 6 petals to match the 6 sides of the hexis.... and colors that were in the quilt help, too. So, I'm asking your opinion again. Do you think it helps the eye flow across the quilt and pick up all the elements? Or do you think it's an awful idea and plain would be better? It's just pinned in place..... it can be unpinned very easily.

I think your quilt is exquisite! Absolutely love what you have done with the appliqués. Congratulations on a job very well done.

i like the appliqué. I hate to do appliqué myself, but love it on your pretty quilt.

your center is light and airy and the patterned fabric on the borders helps to keep the same look
